Supported EventsIAOA supported events are for mutual sharing of information of relevance to IAOA members. IAOA support indicates that the event has been evaluated as relevant and appropriate with respect to the aims of the Association thus providing a certain assurance of quality and relevance for members. Supported events are listed here on the Association website and have announcements and other information concerning them circulated to the member list. The IAOA also provides a PR material folder for distribution at each supported event.

Shape, Form, and Structure are some of the most elusive notions within many different disciplines ranging from the natural sciences through engineering to art. Several approaches have been proposed to study the notions of shape, form and structure from different viewpoints, yet a comprehensive formal treatment of these notions is currently lacking and no real interdisciplinary perspective has been put forward.

This workshop will serve as an interdisciplinary platform for the discussion of all topics connected to shape (broadly understood): perspectives from psycho-linguistics, ontology, computer science, mathematics, aesthetics, cognitive science and beyond are welcome to contribute and participate.
